i want you to know that i\'m good!
i have a problem. take tonight for example. i'm playing a SNG. i'm playing aggressive on the bubble because i'm short stacked. i'm stealing just enough blinds to stay alive. finally i get called by someone and suck out to double up. he calls me an idiot. tells me i'm horrible. what do i do? i tell him if he doesn't realize why it was a good play, he's an idiot.
what the hell is wrong with me. let me get this straight. i have a solid ROI over a couple hundred tournaments at the $50 level. i'm making more money playing poker than i ever could have dreamed (about 4 months ago i was barely surviving on a $70 BR and playing the .5/1 limit) i know i'm better than probably 90% of the players i'm up against. and for some reason, this no-name schmuck who sucks at poker, is probably break-even at best, is getting under my skin? i should be able to just type "  " and leave it at that. but i can't. i feel obligated to let this guy know that "HEY, I'M REALLY GOOD AT POKER. BOW DOWN TO ME FUCKER!" any suggestions or am i destined to be an egotistical [censored] my whole life.

Re: i want you to know that i\'m good!
I would submit for your consideration, that you may not be quite as good as you think.
When you get really good and you know that you are really good, you won't need external justification. I shouldn't reply to this post because, I don't have it all figured out either.

That's pretty pathetic. Also, I can't beat the .5/1 (though that MAY be a small sample size.) I think I'm a marginal winner at the NL tables up to $200. I beat the SNGs for an acceptable return solely on the fact that I know how to beat the game, not because I'm that much better at poker than the rest of them. Trust me, I'm well aware that my poker game isn't very good. Maybe THAT'S my problem.

Re: i want you to know that i\'m good!
I used to be like you. It's a phase. You'll get over it when you realize that you cannot simply tell people you are better than they are. They won't believe you. Even if they do believe that you are better than them, how does that help you?

[/ QUOTE ] this is all true. but it doesn't help me one bit. i've been trying to think of that in terms of 95% of the people on this forum before you showed up. I'm still desperate for admiration.
